Summary

Daniela Miao, Co-Founder and CTO of Momento, and Allen Helton, an Ecosystem Engineer and AWS Serverless Hero, discuss new features on the Momento platform, focusing on Fine-Grained Access Control (FGAC) and HTTP support. FGAC provides a permissions set for API tokens that enhances security by allowing users to limit access to specific functionalities or data within SDK clients. The introduction of HTTP support, alongside existing gRPC support, enables lightweight access to caches and topics, facilitating direct communication with Momento without needing SDKs. They explore practical applications of these features, such as using HTTP for uploading images from IoT security cameras and combining FGAC with HTTP for Edge Network applications. The discussion concludes with enthusiasm for future developments, and examples of the new features' applications include a chat application using FGAC and Momento Topics, as well as integrations with platforms like Netlify and Vercel.
